History Of Cambridge In Pictures

70-cb

Robert Fahsenfeldt, owner of a segregated lunchroom in the racially tense Eastern Shore community of Cambridge, Maryland, douses a white integrationist with water, on July 8, 1963. The integrationist, Edward Dickerson, was among 3 white and 8 African American protesters who knelt on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant to sing freedom songs. A raw egg broken over Dickersons head moments earlier, still is visible on the back of Dickersons head. The protesters were later arrested.
